Representing the 10th District of Texas

The official language is
Spanish
. Generally, most people speak Spanish using a local dialect,
Castellano Rioplatense
, which is subtly different from both the language of
Spain
and that of
Central America
. Most notably, the pronoun "tu" is replaced by "vos", and the you plural pronoun "vosotros" replaced with "ustedes", the latter being common throughout Latin America.

People from each city pronounce words differently as well. People from Buenos Aires speak differently compared to those from Spain and other Spanish speaking countries; example:
chicken
in Spanish (
pollo
) is pronounced
PO-zhO
or
PO-SHO
by the "Porteños" (residents of Buenos Aires), with the
SH
sound harder than in Spanish; unlike most other Spanish speakers of South America who pronounces it
PO-yo
. All Argentinians learn standard Castilian Spanish in school.

Rioplatense Spanish is also heavily influenced by
Italian
, even frequently being mistaken for it, a result of the large influx of Italian immigrants. Hand gestures derived from Italy are extremely common, and many colloquialisms are borrowed from Italian (for example: instead of saying "cerveza", which means beer, youngsters find "birra" cooler, which is in Italian). Most locals can readily understand most Spanish dialects, as well as
Portuguese
or Italian (especially due to its similarity to the local Spanish).

English is mandatory in high school and usually understood in at least a basic level in tourist areas.
German
and

can be understood and to some extent spoken by a few. A few places in Patagonia near Rawson have native Welsh speakers.

The interjection "che" is extremely common and means approximately the same thing as English "hey!". It can also be employed as a phrase known to someone you don't remember their names. Ex: "Escucháme, Che,...." Sometimes it is peppered throughout the speech, similar to the English phrase "yo," as in "What's up, yo?" Nonetheless, communication will not be a problem for any Spanish speaker.

Argentines will communicate with each other using lunfardo, a street dialect or slang. It is used together with Spanish by replacing nouns with their synonyms in lunfardo. As opposed to changing the original meaning, it just makes the phrase more colourful. An important aspect of lunfardo is that it is only spoken. For example, one knows the word dinero (money), but may use the word "guita" in order to refer to the same things. Lunfardo is composed of about 5,000 words, many of which do not appear in the dictionary.

For many visitors, Argentina as a country has the same seductive appeal as the tango for which it's famous. Just like that iconic partner dance, Argentina embraces you, constantly moving to the rhythm of the streets and improvising every step of the way.

As part of this audit, we’re imminently taking action to challenge a large number of suspected spam accounts that we caught as part of an investigation into misuse of an old part of the sign-up flow. These accounts are primarily follow spammers, who in many cases appear to have automatically or bulk followed verified or other high-profile accounts suggested to new accounts during our signup flow. As a result of this action, some people may see their follower counts drop; when we challenge an account, follows originating from that account are hidden until the account owner passes that challenge.
This does not mean accounts appearing to lose followers did anything wrong;
they were the targets of spam that we are now cleaning up. We've recently been taking more steps to clean up spam and automated activity and close the loopholes they'd exploited, and are working to be more transparent about these kinds of actions.

4) Expansion of our malicious behavior detection systems

We’re also now automating some processes where we see suspicious account activity, like exceptionally high-volume Tweeting with the same hashtag, or using the same
Pannier tote bag Green Marni WKfgAj
without a reply from the account you’re mentioning. These tests vary in intensity, and at a simple level may involve the account owner completing a simple reCAPTCHA process or a password reset request. More complex cases are automatically passed to our team for review.

Additionally, if you believe you may have been incorrectly actioned by one of our automated spam detection systems, you can use our

to request review of your case.

Next steps

Going forward, Twitter is continuing to invest across the board in our approach to these issues, including leveraging machine learning technology and partnerships with third parties. We also look forward to soon announcing the results of our
request for proposals
for public health metrics research.

These issues are felt around the world, from elections to emergency events and high-profile public conversations. As we have stated in recent announcements, the public health of the conversation on Twitter is a critical metric by which we will measure our success in these areas.

So to make this comment I went looking for a picture of it and didn't find one but what I *did* learn, which somehow I must have overlooked when we were on the house tour, was that the window sashes of Chatsworth are covered in gold leaf.

According to the article the original gold leafing was far before her time but the Dowager Duchess continued the tradition because it lasts longer than paint (which I believe) and gives the rooms a warm glow in winter (which I *totally* believe).Gold leaf also has a bit of that soft glow but it's so thin that it's not the same as solid, thick gold like in the teapot. Graves' Humana Tower gold leafing is really lovely too, in contrast to the heavy stone it's applied to. In my experience silver leaf is more showy and shiny, but in my house in Philly we did aluminum leaf above the dining table and it also had a softer glow than silver.

If you've never worked with leafing, try it - it's not that expensive to buy a few sheets, and the thinness is wonderful.

i don't see why this would repulse you. duchamp's toilet was not usable as a toilet. you can shit in this one (as far as i understand it?), so that makes it a far better fixture in my opinion. then again, if it's a popular work of art and they post guards out front, it may be more useful as an art fixture rather than a toilet. the obvious question we should all be asking is if it's accessible by adaag and ansi guidelines. also i wonder what the flush valve looks like. kind of creepy, but i kind of hope we someday get to a see a picture of the fixture in use. . .

he says in the linked article:

It’s not my job to tell people what a work means. But I think people might see meaning in this piece.

so what meaning do you see that would be repulsive? i don't think the warmth of gold as a material can be the big theme here. the cost of gold, one way or another, has to be the big picture. so this could be some sort of statement of opulence, or misappropriated funding. or something like that.

look where we put our money. it's pretty much all in war and entertainment. if a school teacher or bus driver or nurse has to go to the guggenheim to sit on a gold throne because they're on the wrong side of our nation's priorities, then i think it's great that this resource is now available to them. gold is better used on a toilet rather than a crown or a scepter anyway.

i guess the meaning i see is opportunity cost. this gold (as a symbol of wealth) could have been used to fuck shit up worse than it's already fucked up, which is how the vast majority of people use their wealth. putting it in a toilet is far safer. toilets aren't greedy.

Civilian noninstitutional population is defined as persons 16 years of age and older residing in the 50 states and the District of Columbia, who are not inmates of institutions (e.g., penal and mental facilities, homes for the aged), and who are not on active duty in the Armed Forces.

For example, invert an exchange rate by using formula 1/a, where “a” refers to the first FRED data series added to this line. Or calculate the spread between 2 interest rates, a and b, by using the formula a - b.

Use the assigned data series variables (a, b, c, etc.) together with operators (+, -, *, /, ^, etc.), parentheses {(,)}, and constants (1, 1.5, 2, etc.) to create your own formula (e.g., 1/a, a-b, (a+b)/2, (a/(a+b+c))*100). As noted above, you may add other data series to this line before entering a formula.

Finally, you can change the units of your new series.
